First Camping Trip!

Camping
We took Jiles camping for the first time last weekend!  It was a little cold, but she kept warm in her bear outfit.  She loved sleeping in Grandma and Grandpa's HUGE tent.  Jiles was a real trooper and made Grandpa's annual birthday camping weekend extra special!









Tongue-Tied
Jiles had outpatient surgery on her tongue this week.  The frenulum (the band of tissue that connects the bottom of the tongue to the floor of the mouth) was too short and tight, causing the movement of the tongue to be restricted.  It can lead to problems with speech and eating.  It was a really quick procedure.  They gave her anesthesia and then clipped it.  She was screaming and still bleeding when they handed her to me in the recovery room.  The Dr. said her frenulum was more vascular than most which means A LOT more blood.  She drank her bottle and the bleeding eventually stopped.  She was back to her normal self that afternoon.  We are so glad to have it over with!  Here is a pic of her in the hospital gown before the surgery....



Another Friend!

Her First Word!!!!

MAMA
It all started when I was running with Jiles in the jogging stroller.  She was yelling and cooing at everyone on the trail when I heard her say, "ma".  The next couple days it turned into mama and mum mum.  She started saying it a couple weeks ago and I finally got it on video!  As you will see, Blaise is trying to expand her vocabulary....



Making Friends....



This was right after a nap.  She likes to peak over the bumpers and then when I walk in she plops down and giggles.  So precious!

 

Her own little fort....



She was ready for a nap after playing in the walker....

Here's a short video of her laughing.  I was fanning a (clean) diaper at her feet.  She thought it was hilarious...

Our little soccer player!



Jiles had her first soccer training session on the way to Indy.  I was amazed by her quick feet....


New menu....fruits!!!

Jiles enjoyed being in the highchair, but wasn't too sure about trying pears for the first time.




Funny conversation between Blaise and Me.  It went something like this....
B- Jiles tooted.
K- Are you sure it wasn't Roxy?
B- (As he is sniffing her diaper) No, it was Jiles.
K- Are you sure she didn't poop? 
B- No, it was a toot.  She has a little bit lingering in her diaper but it's almost gone.

Blaise 5 minutes later...


It was on his arm and shirt.  It looks like it could be from the pears, but it's not.  HAHAHAHA!!!!!!
